Saturday

Have you ever wondered who places all the beautiful American flags throughout the villages and in the cemeteries? Well, wonder no more.

Have you ever wondered who places all the beautiful American flags throughout the villages and in the cemeteries? Well, wonder no more.

Hats off and a resounding thank you to Debbie Campbell, Chris Archibald and Carol Marasa, Scout leaders of Girl Scouts of America Teen Troop 836. These unsung heroines and their Scouts were responsible for the placement of flags marking the graves of nearly 1,000 veterans who lay at rest in Mosswood Cemetery in Cotuit. They also placed flags at many memorial squares throughout the villages of Barnstable.

May we all be grateful to these wonderful young girls and their leaders, who have taught them well the importance of honoring our veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice that we shall live in freedom.

When you see one of these flags, remember these fine women and youths and know that good things are still happening in a quiet and gentle way.
